Getz Personal Care Home sits on beautiful grounds at 1026 Scenic Drive in Kunkletown, Pennsylvania, right in the heart of the Poconos, and for over 50 years, staff have been caring for folks with a gentle touch and a real sense of community, drawing on the legacy of Alice and Lawrence Getz. This family-run home has a simple, welcoming setting with private or semi-private rooms, all with air conditioning, TV hookup, private phone jack, emergency call system, lockable doors for privacy, and windows that give you a nice view. The home's small size means the caregivers get to know each resident and help with everything from bathing, dressing and medication management, to daily needs like transportation, shopping, housekeeping, laundry, and home-cooked meals-vegetarian choices included-with restaurant-style dining. Seniors find their needs met, whether those needs include help with walking or wheelchair use, support with health and medication, or just a little extra comfort, because the staff make sure rooms and common areas are safe with handrails, slip-resistant floors, and smooth, accessible pathways.
Families appreciate how Getz offers both assisted living and nursing home care, so if someone needs more support-like hospice, respite care for short-term stays or day/night care while a family takes a break-they can find it here. There are special cards that make visitor access easier, and transportation's provided at cost so people can get to appointments or outings without fuss. A trained medical team is there when you need them, with daily or monthly visits from nurses and doctors, medication management, and even a podiatrist who comes by regularly. Getz Personal Care Home joins in community resources and health programs, offers support for people with Alzheimer's, and uses state and federal funding to keep health services strong, same with their activities around mental health and developmental support.
The home is lively, too, with a full calendar-bowling, bingo, gardening, arts and crafts, entertainment, movie nights in the community's movie theater, outings, games, and resident-led activities-along with wellness programs in the fitness room or spa/sauna/wellness room. There's a focus on personal interests and letting residents decorate their space, store their own things, and keep special pets. Grounds are landscaped, with walking paths and outdoor spaces for bird watching or picnics, and the dining room and beauty salon bring everyone together. Getz offers a health library for questions about medicines or tests, symptom checker tools, and learning centers for people wanting to work on behavioral health recovery.
Getz Personal Care Home makes sure everyone's got what they need to be comfortable, safe, and respected, offering VA benefits help, devotional services, individualized care plans, amenities like cable TV and Wi-Fi, on-call systems for emergencies, and support for all kinds of mobility. The staff are known for their kindness, patience, and willingness to treat each resident like family, responding to requests promptly and with a smile. People who live here or visit often praise how respectful and caring the environment feels, with the home's easy-to-navigate layout, wheelchair and walker access, and simple home-style approach that never tries too hard but always delivers the basics right-so folks staying at Getz Personal Care Home get good care, social connection, and a real sense they matter.
